Commerical Burglars Caught on Tape Detectives need the Public's help to ID suspect

Los Angeles: The
Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Burglary Detectives are
investigating a series of commercial burglaries along Pico Boulevard
that occurred during the month of October 2012.

During the month of October, 2012, Wilshire Area experienced five
commercial burglaries during the early morning hours. The burglaries
occurred between the 4200 to 5500 block of Pico Boulevard. As many as
five suspects had entered each business. The suspects took property and
money during the burglaries.

Wilshire Burglary Detectives have recovered video surveillance of the
burglaries and in one instance captured still photos of one of the
suspects, described as a male Black, 20-25 years of age. The photo
depicts a unique tattoo along the right side of the suspect’s neck,
which appears to be the letter “W” in a cursive script, similar to the
logo of the Washington Nationals Baseball Club. Additionally, Wilshire
Detectives have determined that the suspects were driving a dark colored
1995-2000 Chevrolet Astro Van.

Wilshire Burglary Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in
identifying the suspect with the unique tattoo along the side of his
neck.
